I just love the fact Des is so professional that he even decided to paint his nails for the purpose of the video💅 🥰 (jk brother, good job on the review!)

Thank you for this comprehensive review and showing the watch faces. I think this is a winner for small wrist people!

[ItalianJosie]

Thank you so much for this awesome, comprehensive review! It's so helpful!

[myztical]

Might pick this one up! Thank you. It looks good on a smaller wrist mine is 5.25” and my instinct 2s looks pretty beefy.

Hopefully this means a revamp vivomove series with GPS

I had just settled on getting the Lily 2 Classic and needed to wait a few weeks to pay off some vet bills first, but was a bit disappointed it lacked the features the Active now includes. Only good thing to come from two sick pets I guess! But I had decided on the cream gold because I once saw a silver one in store and it looked dull and cheap. And now I'm back to trying to decide between the lunar gold and silver because I have just seen a photo of a silver one on a person and it looked shiny and nice so now I'm all 🤪 again!

Maybe a good present for my wife, she got the lily 1 and the missing gps on that watch is a real bummer.

Great review! When you're working out in exercise mode, do you still have to turn your wrist to see your stats? That seems kind of cumbersome.

[reyskidude]

the strap lugs look way better than lily 2... and good that they moved to the more standard charging cable

[daliborduben]

hank you for great review. These are much more performance than Lily2, it keeps "women look". A have a gift for my wife for Christmas.

I have a video idea for you: which watch to buy for the elderly / your parents? realistically it needs a field research, but your own evaluation of ease of use and health features useful for them should be a good starting point.

[roisinmccafferty]

Comparing to this and the vivoactive 5, more just for daily use and light workout, which would you recommend?

[SebastianBohn]

Would you recommend this one over the Venue 3s?
And is it too small for (smaller) men’s wrists or acceptable?

Loved the video! I'm jumping from Fitbit to Garmin and am considering the Lily 2 Active. Related to cycling, did you mention that you need to add a speed or cadence sensor b/c it doesn't track speed during a ride? Is speed one of the things you can track & see on face of the watch during the activity? Also, same thing with heart rate. Do you need to add a heart rate sensor or is it just more accurate with a sensor?

Regarding the buttons, are you able to navigate through all the menus & faces by buttons only OR are there some times where you do have to use the touch screen to get through certain menus?

Thank you!

Hey @Desfit . I just got my fenix u pro solar (non sapphire ) is it advisable to throw in a screen protection on it against the Garmin guidelines?

[kjcl]

Hello, my wife just got this and the screen display isnt waking up when she rotates her wrist. She can only wake it up with a double tap. Is there a setting she needs to change?

[taryn]

Wondering what how the activity features differ from the venu 3s? No music storage or taking calls/sending texts.

[paulharris]

Once again still no Suunto Race S review?

[benjaminjwilson]

oh come on. I just ordered the classic, ffs. it arrives this Friday. do I send it back and get this?

[yifathaddad]

So what is actually the difference between this and Venu3s?
